This stack device also limits object and admits zone 6, and object supporting backstop limit section 8 and maintenance limit section 10 thereon is on the edge in this object admittance zone in side direction.In addition, with the longitudinal direction of D indication device, D moves the object stacking along with it forms along the longitudinal direction.The plate 12 that forms slippage limit section allows the direction along arrow F1 towards zone 6 to guide the object stream of admitting from input port 4.
Plate 12 send before relative object in its upstream portion of direction and has first group of crack mouth 14.These crack mouths allow passing through of a plurality of fins 16, and in an illustrated embodiment, the quantity of described fin 16 is set to three.These fins can pivot around vertical axis A1, and described vertical axis A1 extends near the rear surface of plate 12.
Be described in further detail such as the back, each fin can pivot between the two positions around axle A1.Primary importance is the stowed position, and in this stowed position, fin is received in the back of plate 12, and namely fin does not project in the input channel 4, thereby does not affect the object reach.Be called the second place of extended position, fin protrudes out in the path, to act on the object path, as described later.
In addition, plate 12 has second group of crack mouth 20 in its downstream part.These crack mouths 20 cooperate with actuator 22, and this actuator 22 can be driven rotates around vertical axis A2, and it is arranged to described dish at a distance of certain distance, and zone 6 is relative with admitting.
Especially as shown in Figure 2, this actuator 22 comprises center hub spare 24, many protruding pin is extended from center hub spare 24, wherein only sees protruding pin 26 on this figure 1, 26 2These protruding pins can be through aforementioned crack mouth 20 towards the direction projection of admitting the zone.In addition, these protruding pins are slight curving, so as when they to extend through these cracks mouth towards the direction of input channel.
More precisely, in an illustrated embodiment, can see this protruding pin of four couples that distributes along hub spare.In addition, for a given protruding pin pair, two protruding pins extend symmetrically, thereby stagger each other 180 °.
Each protruding pin 26 1, 26 2Be connected in a tongue piece 28 1, 28 2, tongue piece carries out attached in detouchable mode advantageously, for example be screwed.The tongue piece then available material different from the protruding pin material is made, and is especially made of plastic, and protruding pin is made with metal.Like this, tongue piece can have the feature that is suitable for its function, be simultaneously can hold easily changeable.
Each tongue piece has so that it is fixed on the part 29 of the curved shape on the protruding pin 1, 29 2, and straight main portion 30 1, 30 2, its function describes in detail in the back.As non-limiting example, main portion 30 1, 30 2Length L, namely its free end and with the distance of separation of the joint of protruding pin advantageously greater than 40 millimeters, especially between 40 millimeters to 60 millimeters.On this Fig. 2, it may be noted that each tongue piece 28 1, 28 2Be tangential on round C and extend, circle C center on the axle A2 and its radius R between 60 millimeters to 80 millimeters.
Admit the longitudinal end relative with actuator in zone to be limited by dish 32, dish 32 forms holding element (seeing Fig. 3 and later figure) usually.This dish is installed on the guide 34, and is movable along direction D with respect to underframe.In addition, the parts of unshowned reel or counterweight type are connected in dish, so that described dish applies recuperability to the object stacking, to guarantee to keep this stacking.
Will be described hereinafter now the above-mentioned application according to stack device of the present invention.
At first explanation is called the arriving at of object N+1 of " current object ", and it should be stacked on the stacking P in the what is called " formations ", and described stacking P is by consisting of with 1 to N N the flat article that indicates, and this N flat article before had been received in the admittance regional 6.Usually, corresponding object 1 and object N are called as " first " object and " at last " object of the stacking in this formation.
This enforcement also is actv. for the first flat article that arrives, namely arrive when stack device is emptying.But, in this case, when initial stage of operation, on actuator directly applies pressure to and coils, rather than press on the object N that before is right after stack.
At initial position shown in Figure 3, actuator 22 is motionless.At first, object N+1 is along slippage limit section 12 towards first group of protruding pin 26 1Direction advance first group of protruding pin 26 1Be bearing on the stacking P in the formation.Just at object N+1 with before these protruding pins contact, make actuator 22 begin to rotate (seeing the arrow f among Fig. 4).Like this, the front front of this object is not and these protruding pins 26 1Contact, but the tongue piece 28 that is connected with protruding pin 1Towards the contact of the inside face of hub spare 24.
Because actuator is rotated, therefore tongue piece guarantees the function to the guides of object N+1, because described tongue piece trends towards giving this object N+1 with towards the direction of backstop limit section 8, almost be parallel to the path of object N.In addition, these tongue pieces play the interfacial effect between object N and the N+1, and namely in particular, these tongue pieces are kept apart the front front of the mail N+1 in stacking process with respect to previous stacking good mail N.Therefore can understand, this allows to guarantee the integraty of object N, and is especially true in the situation of object N rapid wear.
In addition, when the trailing portion of mail N+1 alignd with fin 16, control fin 16 pivoted (seeing Figure 4 and 5) by arrow f ', to cause that this mail is along arrow f " topple over.This and aforesaid tongue piece 28 1The local derviation effect combine, help equally to make the path of these letters to be parallel to the surface of facing mutually of last letters N.
Subsequently, object N+1 rests in the backstop limit section 8, and possible spring is by keeping limit section 10 to be limited.Actuator keeps rotating, so that second group of tongue piece 28 2The lag behind upper (see figure 6) of this object N+1 of stack of outside face.This help to make after this by N+1 object consist of form in whole new stacking P ' keep balance.
Then, stop the rotation of actuator, so that the second protruding pin 26 2With the second tongue piece 28 2Then be in the first protruding pin 26 as shown in Figure 3 1With the first tongue piece 28 1The position.Therefore, treatment cycle rotates 180 ° corresponding to actuator.Subsequently, can be to be similar to the mode of aforesaid way, carry out stacking such as being seen next the object N+2 of Fig. 4 to 6.
Fig. 7 illustrates the favourable use of above-mentioned fin 16.Detect arriving at of current flat article N+1, and before its alignment fin, make described fin press arrow f ' and pivot.In these cases, these fins pass through the object N that its free end 16 ' directly clashes into the stacking in forming, and this allows to push this stacking open towards the direction of dish 32.
Therefore, this action of fin is defined for the free path of object N+1, and it is called again input cone C, and this is avoided at the described object N+1 in upstream that admits the zone and any collision occurs the stacking in forming.Therefore, the danger of obstruction greatly reduces.After the stacking in pushing formation open, fin is packed up again, in order to do not send before not hindering the freedom of object N+1.
First implement modification with reference to Fig. 4 and 5 and for the above-mentioned pivot of its second modification with reference to the fin of Fig. 7 for it, can be activated according to different parameters, described different parameter especially with form in the last letters N of stacking relevant with current letters N+1.Particularly, without limitation, can enumerate: the length of letters N, highly, the length of planeness and constituent material and letters N+1, highly, thickness, rigidity, kinetic energy and constituent material.
Minute pick up from beginning, after object was individually separated in stacking process upstream, these different parameters were by suitable sensor collection.Then, according at least some parameters in these parameters, one or another kind of in the manner described above starts fin and pivots.
Even if should be pointed out that above-mentioned fin even be used with the actuator of unprotect part, itself also be favourable.Therefore, they can be with the actuator of prior art, such as the use that combines of the actuator described in the preface part of present patent application.
